Lodi

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence Clearwater Revival, often abbreviated CCR, was an American
rock band that gained popularity in the late
1960s and early 1970s with a number of successful singles drawn from
various albums.
The group consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary
lyricist John Fogerty, his brother and rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty,
bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style
encompassed rock and roll and swamp rock genres. Despite their San
Francisco Bay Area origins, they are sometimes also cited as southern
rock stylists.
CCR's music is still a staple of American and worldwide radio airplay
and often figures in various media. The band has sold 26 million albums
in the United States alone. CCR was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in 1993.
Just about a year ago,
I set out on the road,
Seeking my fame and fortune,
Looking for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse,
I guess you will know the tune.
Oh! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound,
I'll be walking out if I go.
I was just passing through,
Must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money,
Looks like they took my friends.
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town, a one night stand,
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh! Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.
Mmmm...
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung.
And ev'ry time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk.
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
